Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

September 30, 2013 By Kerry Cooks 8 Comments

 Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

 I love pumpkin bread and muffins (anything made with pumpkin really!) – pumpkin really lends a gorgeous moistness and subtle flavour that just seems to epitomise autumn.  This easy pumpkin chocolate chip bread is a classic moist loaf cake spiced with ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, and full of delicious chocolate chips.

 The great thing about this bread (it sounds so much healthier than calling it a cake, doesn’t it!) is that the recipe is so easy, and makes two loaves – enough for you and a friend. And oh what a popular friend you’ll be!

The recipe is based on this one by blogger The Highlands Life.

Does this look wrong?
Ingredients
  1. 450g flour
  2. 400g golden caster sugar
  3. 310ml vegetable oil
  4. 1 can (494g) pumpkin
  5. 4 eggs
  6. 200g chocolate chips/chunks
  7. 2 tbsp cinnamon
  8. 1 tsp grated nutmeg
  9. 1 tsp ginger
  10. 1 tsp baking powder
  11. large pinch salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180c/gas mark 4/350f and line two loaf tins with parchment paper.
  2. Sift the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and baking powder - into a very large bowl. In a bowl or large jug, stir together the vegetable oil with the pumpkin and eggs.
  3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and add the chocolate chips - stir together briefly until combined and then pour half of the batter into each loaf tin.
  4. Pop your tins into the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes before testing - the loaf is cooked when its golden brown on top and a toothpick or skewer inserted inside comes out clean. The top of my loaves cracked quite a bit, but that just gives them a distinguished look in my opinion!
  5. Allow to cool for at least an hour before removing from the loaf tin. When the loaves are completely cool, peel off the parchment paper.
  6. The loaves keep really well for up to a week, and in fact will taste better the day after baking - if they last that long!

    I saw this bread on your Instagram this morning! Looks really good! I made some pumpkin bread last night but it would’ve been better with chocolate chips 😉

      That just follows the immutable law that everything is better with chocolate chips!

    So glad you enjoyed this recipe. It really is so easy, perfectly moist and most importantly, super delicious. I actually have one more sliver to enjoy this morning from my last batch.

    Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins were THE MOST popular item when I worked at a bakery…year round. It’s hard to deny the deliciousness of pumpkin and chocolate chip. This looks great! Maybe I’ll take a trip down memory lane =) thanks Kerry!

      Ooh yay! I don’t know how to describe the size really except as’normal’?! The ones I have aren’t massive – it would probably give 8 generous slices of cake per loaf
